What does it take to make a beautiful handmade quilt at Bay View Montessori?

• A Brownie Troop
• 2 Fabulous Troop Leaders
• 3 Grandmothers
• 5 Mothers
• 5 fabric donators
• 6 sewing machines
• a few friends who answer endless design questions
• and a willingness to jump in and try!

The girl scouts sewed together many of the strips that make up the blocks. A few of those strips were cut from fabric they drew on. This was the first time at a sewing machine for many of them. We had a multi-generational team of volunteers, including three sets of grandmothers. The result is an instantly charming, vintage-feel, imperfectly perfect quilt. It's an instant treasure!
